Game of Thrones star Bella Ramsey won millions of hearts playing the young and brave Lyanna Mormont on the HBO fantasy epic, even though her role was short-lived. She accurately portrayed the proud and quirky young warrior as she stabbed a giant wight during her last battle at Winterfell. It seems her days of adventure are not over yet, she has landed yet another action-filled role in HBO’s upcoming video game adaptation The Last of Us, and she’s grateful for it.

The 19-year-old actress is currently playing Ellie in the HBO adaptation of The Last of Us. In a recent interview with Yahoo! Entertainment, Ramsey talked about how she is glad Ellie’s sexuality wasn’t left out and her being a lesbian will be explored later on in the series. She said, “I wouldn’t have let that happen either. It is part of who she is and what I like about the show is that it’s not made into this huge deal. It’s her existing in this world and loving women… and Joel is cool with it. I think it’s done really well.”
